| Trout Fishing in Mississippi The 5 primary trouts are the rainbow, brook, brown, cutthroat and lake trout. Brown trout are considered the most difficult to catch and brookies are the easiest. Pure cold water is key to survival of the trouts and the brook trout is the most sensitive to temperature. The others are comfortable in slightly warmer waters. The only trout fishing in Mississippi is for rainbows. Trout Fishing Lakes In Mississippi MS has extremely limited trout fishing with spotted testings of stocked trout. The Mississippi state record rainbow trout was caught in Lake Whittington. Visit the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks website for additional information on trout and trout stocking in Mississippi. Rainbow Trout Known for its tasty pink flesh, beauty and gameness, the rainbow trout is a favorite among the vast majority of trout fishing anglers. It also appeals to the fly fisherman as it can be tempted to take properly presented flies as well as other baits and lures. It feeds on small insects, minnows, crustaceans and worms. Rainbow trout fishing is fun for both sport and dining pleasures. In waters that allow such migration the rainbow trout will remain in streams until it reaches 6" to 9" in length and then travel to lakes or oceans where it will bulk up and then return to the streams or rivers to spawn. Steelhead trout are rainbow trout which have adapted to the salt water environment. Fishing for steelhead is very similar to fishing for rainbows. However in winter the steelhead typically prefer spoons or bait rather than flies. Trout Fishing Organizations & Resources Cal
